These muffins are really like a cupcake - so not a great breakfast, but consider serving as dessert? (2 cups of sugar in 18 muffins is way too much - a good guideline is about 1/2 cup sugar or less per 12 muffins. . . ).

Can these muffins be made with just the whole wheat flour, and maybe a little white flour if absolutely necessary? I don't have the soy and spelt flours and don't really want to try to keep these on hand for our family of 11.

way too much sugar! especially with the addition of applesauce and raisins. I am thinking this amount of sugar is to help bind the batter since there is no egg. A better solution would be to use ground flax seeds as an egg replacement and cut the sugar in half, at least. also when you are using applesauce, you can cut back on the fat content as well. I honestly would find a better recipe that I didn't have to change so much.

I only put in one cup of sugar, added one egg substitute, used almond flour instead of soy flour and halved the oil and doubled the applesauce. I also added 1/4 tsp ginger and 1/4 tsp nutmeg for more spice. You end up with a denser muffin that is spicier instead of super sweet. Better as a breakfast item, and super tasty!

Also, if you buy the flour from a bulk section and only get what you need, you don't end up with a bunch just sitting in the cupboard.

Everything is good except TWO cups of sugar !!!! WAY too much sugar. I use apples, fresh apples or unsweetened applesauce and in doing so, I do not need to add oil. I might suggest the recipes be reviewed by dietician or something.

NO NO NO CANOLA!!! Do you have ANY idea how HORRIBLE that is?? Canola oil is something that NO ONE should EVER put in their mouth. Go look at the YouTube video of how they get it. Ever see a canola plant? No? Know Why?? There's NO SUCH THING! This stuff is horrible. Never, EVER use it. Use olive or coconut oil, never canola.
